Handstitching a Green Carpet Moth. The Second in a Series of Embroidered Moths

[@pamlacey136]

The Green Carpet is a beautiful moth and I love the stitching you did to re-create it. Enjoy.

[@marionsworld24]

[@melaniehopkins7541]

Hello from Washington State! Marion, you made the Green Carpet moth come alive with your beautiful stitching! Because of you, I now have a new appreciation for the beauty of moths. I am enjoying your videos talented lady.

[@marionsworld24]

I'm so happy to hear that. They're a very overlooked species, just because they fly mainly at night.

[@lydias329]

I am sure your Carpet Moth fluttered its wings.....exquisite stitching Marion...I am really enjoying watching your Moth Embroideries appear from the cloth...Thank you so much for showing us...and I am looking forward to your next Stitch Journal as I am actually up to date. 🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks for that. In real life they're small. We used to view them with a magnifying glass to appreciate the beautiful colours and patterns.

[@BitsofThatandThis]

Enjoying this new series. Beauty in nature for sure. Thank you.

[@BitsofThatandThis]

Just finished watching. So beautiful…you’re very talented and have such a good eye.

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you 😊

Hello Marion, This video was completely mesmerising. The carpet moth you created is absolutely beautiful - a real treat to the eye. I am already looking forward to seeing what you produce for us next week. In the meantime, enjoy all your creative activities.

Oh, Marion, you made a lovely moth. That frilly edge at the bottom made your moth seem so real, I wanted to touch it. Thank you, Marion. It’s a wonderful video.

[@terribradburn6685]

What a beautiful stitchery! Any moth or carpet would be happy to see this lovely piece!

[@marionsworld24]

[@marionsworld24]

Hope you enjoying it Deborah....

[@nancymorgen1640]

The beautiful green of this moth reminds me of the Luna Moth we have here in the southeast U.S. The Luna has a most striking shape with long tales on their wings. Thanks for sharing the Brimstone Moth and the Green Carpet Moth with us. They are lovely.

[@marionsworld24]

I've seen pictures of the Luna moths. They're really lovely. Maybe you should stitch one...🦋

[@AppelmoesArtandPhotography]

Amazing! I love the moths! Can’t wait for the next one.

[@sheilahope7007]

Wow!!! This moth is so life like and beautiful you are inspiring!! Thank you!❤❤

[@kb9847]

It is quite amazing how much detail a single strand of thread can do. Don't love moths, but maybe you will win me over. 😂

[@marionsworld24]

[@mswetra2610]

Thank you souch Marion, the moth is so beautiful. I also enjoyed how you filmed closely explaining everything and then showing the differences once the first side was complete. You really are an excellent teacher. 🍎

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you. That means a lot 💐

[@lindaherrington6291]

Beautiful depiction. Another stunner!

[@barbarabeckman6722]

Thank you Marion

[@sis9622]

Thank you for sharing

[@sarajean671]

I love your 2-color chain stitch. I never would have thought to do that. That’s one of the reasons I like watching you stitch. I pick up new techniques. You are inspiring me with your moths. I just requested a couple of books from my library about moths in my area.

[@marionsworld24]

Brilliant! I'll bet you'll have some beautiful ones to find...

[@dianpapay7927]

Such a pretty moth. I love the chain stitch and the checkerboard effect.

[@marionsworld24]

It's a much underused stitch...

[@suze7268]

I've never seen that two-coloured chain stitch demonstrated before, that was so very clever & looks so good :) Thank you so much Marion, this a truly stunning work of Art. Your videos are fast becoming a real highlight of my week. Have a really lovely week xXx

[@marionsworld24]

I'll be doing that chain stitch in a larger size for the stitch journal too. It's such a lovely stitch.

[@marshahodgkins9215]

My first visit. Fascinated with your green carpet moth project. Fortunate to have that gorgeous green fabric! Lovely work. Thanks to k3n for mentioning your youtube.

[@marionsworld24]

Yes.. I watch K3n too... her work is brilliant! We have a similar ethos even though our styles are different.

[@maz3002]

I'm enjoying watching you as you stitch another beautiful moth 💚

[@cynthiaeastman7456]

I love that you’re featuring Moths. Here in the USA we have some beautiful Moths too. Yours looks so real. I really enjoyed watching your newest creation.

[@marionsworld24]

You'll have to see if there's anyone doing any trapping nearby. They're so lovely to see in real life...

[@kelliecorum5427]

[@gayeelder8255]

I have long been an admirer of moths and wanted to stitch them, but I could not envision a way to do so. Your tutorial has inspired me to try and enabled my efforts.

[@marionsworld24]

That's brilliant. I hope you can go forward with your own ones now 😊

[@pamfrank3962]

Beautiful ❤ I like the Moth pattern on your fingernail ❤ so realistic ❤ I can almost see the wings flutter as you sew❤

Oh Marion!! So wonderful of you to do moths and a green (my favorite color) one! Thank you so much for your video's!!

The moth is beautiful. Thank you for showing us the world of moths and the colours they resemble. I am learning how the thread painting is done. Keep warm, here in Ontario, we are having real cold weather, -29 windchills for tonight. I have am working on my 2nd border of Dear Jane. I was hoping to finish it by the end of the month. Looking forward to seeing the new stitch tomorrow on the stitch journal.

[@marionsworld24]

Brrr.... that makes my bit of cold seem like nothing! I hope you're warm and cosy...

[@marionsworld24]

[@jeanmansfield1138]

Finally caught up with this. We always go for the camera and book when we find a moth as they're not so easily seen in daylight but are beautiful - although they were never welcome inside by my mum or aunts but then we wore and used more wool in the past! I used up one of mum's old blankets to use wrapped in layers around old tins and covered for Needlelace pillows - and lined the insides to tuck away needles, threads etc. I look forward to your next choice😊

[@marionsworld24]

That was inventive Jean... I learned to do bobbin lace with a blanket wrapped around an old book and following pictures from a library book...

[@subritton2079]

Such a beautiful moth. A joy to watch him take shape.

[@SharonClark-os2ok]

Absolutely stunning..

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks Sharon

[@leannescraftycupboard]

Spectacular! I loved seeing this beautiful moth come to life. You also piqued my curiosity about Australian moths. I was thinking as I watched, that I only see the cabbage moth and a brown moth I don't know the name of. So off I went researching. The pretty white thing that devours my garden bed, called a cabbage moth is in fact a butterfly! And the brown thing I didn't know the name of is the cabbage moth. Thank you for taking me on such an interesting journey. 😊

[@marionsworld24]

We have cabbage white butterflies here in the UK too. However... In Australia you have the largest moth in the world! The Hercules moth is nearly 1 foot across in wingspan. You also have some beautiful Hawkmoths. Have a look at the Pellucid Hawkmoth. It's gorgeous!

[@leannescraftycupboard]

@@marionsworld24 I looked them up and I was amazed! Just incredible. 🤩

[@hopep1334]

I'm constantly amazed at your talents, and I learn something new each time I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing!

Good morning Marion, thank you so much for such a beautiful way to tell us about the carpet month , also for such your beautiful talents. I always look forward to your video, with lots of appreciation Teresa xx

[@oermama]

What a beautiful moth that is, I’ve never seen it in real life but will sure will keep an eye out for it. Your embroidered version is beautiful. We had a gypsy moth laying eggs against our house, its head looked so fluffy, and the eggs were also covered in fluff.

[@marionsworld24]

I don't think they get as far north as where I am.

[@ingelatorvaldsson990]

Good morning Marion 😊 I began the day looking at your video with the Carpet moth. So lovely embroidery ❤. I never seen a colored moth in Sweden, perhaps I have the wrong eys😎😔? The moths I saw are all brown/grey or black/grey or in one of this colors, but they may have beautiful patterns! This night it has been very windy and snowy so when I look out of my bedroomwindow it looks like I have got a lacecurtain on it. A pail sun shines between light grey clouds trough it. It's beautiful❤ Looking forward to wednesday! Have a lovely day Marion! 🪰🦋🦚

[@marionsworld24]

You have these beauties Ingela .. This is from the Swedish database I think... pbase.com/coridon/sphingidae We have some of these ones too. The Elephant hawk moth is the most amazing colours of pink and green! I am imagining a wonderful picture of the sky and pale sun from your lovely description... Thank you 😊

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Marion for the video,I feel as if I am definitely learning about moths. I have even told my friends about these colourful specimens and we all admit to our ignorance. You were even mentioned in dispatches by Corrine on her channel (she opted to stitch a dragonfly). It is amazing how using different colours of thread brings this little moth to life. It looks 3D as if it could fly off the fabric you never get that feeling with cross stitch.Stay warm and as dry as possible. See you soon.

[@marionsworld24]

Mentioned in dispatches.... :) Who is Corinne?

[@bridgetknight4455]

To be loved treasures by Corrine (part one playing with dragonflies) on utube mention you doing moths
